Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
employer did not
furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from
recognized hazards that
were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to
employees in that employees
were exposed to a crushing and/or amputation hazard:

and exposed to
the potential for injury created by exposure to the unguarded moving belt
on the
underside of the conveyor.

place a guard on the
underside of the conveyor to eliminate employee exposure to the moving
belt as referenced in

Requirements; Paragraph 5.14.2.1 Moving Machine Parts that states:
All moving machine parts shall, if feasible, be guarded.  They may be
guarded
by their
nature, in that they are intrinsically safe, as the pan of a
housed-en-masse conveyor.
They may be guarded by location, as is the piston of an internal
combustion engine, or
the head pulley of a belt conveyor stacker.  They may be guarded by shield
guards,
trough guards or railing guards.  In particular, all nip and shear points
shall be guarded.
